Back! Week 14

Hi everyone, I'm back.

We had a great time. I have eaten far too much bit that is what hols are all about.

The caravan was lovely, the site was down the road from where we used to go on holiday when we were kids. Of course we popped off down the road to visit that site too. It has changed loads from when we were small. A lot of it doesn't exist anymore due to coastal erosion. Whole camp sites vanished into the sea. It was kind of sad to see that but fascinating too.

The weather was nice, it was cold when we got there but after putting the fire on we were fine. The weather only turned bad when we had to come home but we didn't mind at that point.

We had fish and chips for supper every night. We did a lot of reading, playing scrabble and trivial pursuits. We had a lovely relaxing time.

We went for walks across the cliffs and on the beach and I found some lovely stones to put on dad's grave, I think i will do that next week.

We played on the slot machines (as you do) and the bingo, it is compulsory. I won a couple of times and used my tokens to buy chocolate.

I also bought some rock, also compulsory. I still have loads of goodies left over from my birthday last week and Easter. I have so much to eat, I don't know where to start first. I have eaten so much this past two weeks and it shows no sign of stopping just yet. The diet can start next month.

On the last day before coming home, we went into Bridlington. I bought the latest Shaun the sheep DVD so I am happy.

In one of the shops, I saw the coolest bathrobe I have ever seen. It was an Elvis bathrobe with the design being a replica of the pattern on his eagle jumpsuit. It had the eagle on the back and the big collars and belt. I wanted it soooooooo bad but I couldn't justify spending £50 or $100 on one bathrobe. I sighed as I walked away, it really was that cool.

Back to reality and back to work next week. I hope I can win the lottery this weekend and retire to the coast. That would be nice. keep your fingers crossed.

Week 13

I'M OFF TO THE SEASIDE!!!!!

I shall be missing you guys. From Monday to friday, I shall be at the coast enjoying a short break.

We are staying at a place called Barmston beach which is just down the road from Briddlington.

We have our nice neighbours looking after the house and a nice friend looking after our cockatiel.

I shall be back with you guys next Saturday. I shall have so much to catch up on.

Be nice to each other while I'm gone. Then maybe I'll bring you all a stick of rock back.

TaTa!!!!!


P.S. HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!!!! Chocs away!

Week 12

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!


It is my birthday on Thursday. I am far too old to mention *cough33cough*

I am gonna stuff my face silly on the day.

If you hear on the news about a woman who ate herself from 8 and a half stone to 30 stone in one day, that will be me.

Oh how I pity our bathroom scales.

Yummy yummy, goodies and tasty treats here I come.

Week 11

Hiya!

As some of you know, on Saturday, me and my sis accompanied a coach load of students to the Leeds armouries.

It was really good, I would advise anyone to go there. The performances were great, really well acted.

Well, tomorrow I have an interview for a job as an admin assistant at the place where I am helping out at the moment. I am not holding me breath about getting it though. I know that if there is someone who has more experience, they will get it. To be honest, I think tomorrow will be a case of going through the motions.

On Thursday, I have my meeting to see if I will be able to do the teaching course and if I'm honest, that is what I would rather do.

I have today sent off applications for jobs with the police. One as a fingerprint technician and one as a coroners court officer. One again, I am not holding my breath.

But on the plus side, next week is my birthday and the week after I am going away with my mum and sis for a short break to the seaside. I just hope the weather won't be like it is now. Right now, the coastal towns are being battered by the worst storms of the winter.

We shall see. I shall keep you updated of any further things that crop up in my life.




P.S Wayhay, the F1 season starts again this weekend. I am so happy. Come on Fisi!!!!!

Week 10

Happy 6 months anniversary everyone. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions at times but I want to say thank you to all the lovely people I have met here.

Today, I rang my benefits caseworker. I have been inquiring into whether or not I can get funding for a teaching course that I am interested in doing. And..........


Well, it seems that I will be spending less time here from now on. Real life is calling.

I have been told that I should be able to get funding to do a teaching course. This will take some sorting out so I will be busy. I have a meeting next week regarding it.

As I already have a degree, the course I will be taking lasts 4 weeks full time. It will enable me to teach English to foreign students.

I am really looking forward to it. I am hoping to do the course in London (nowhere in the north of England does it) then I can stay with my uncle and it will save me some pennies.

The course is accredited from Cambridge university and is a worldwide recognised course so I will be able to work anywhere. They are especially crying out for people to fill these posts in Japan.

Maybe this will be the start of an adventure and the start of a fulfilling career. I hope so.

I am still working part time st my sis's place too. I may be helping out with accompanying students on a trip to the Leeds armouries this weekend. Things are finally starting to happen. Please wish me luck.



I'm gonna miss not being around so much but I have to live my life.

I love you all.

Week 9 update

EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!!!


At 01:00am on Wednesday, England was hit by an earthquake measuring 5.e on thre richter scale.

I was sat at the computer when the earthquake struck. Grit and stones fell down the chimney and at first I thought our chimney had been blown over by the gales we had been having. Then I realised that the wind had dropped.

Then the noise hit, it sounded like the next door neighbour's house was collapsing against ours.

Then I saw the walls shake, they moved so much.

I was so scared. I was shaking for ages afterwards.

A few of us on AIM were talking to each other about it. We worried together and supported each other.

It reminded me of the wonderful friendships formed here in blogland.

I want to thank everyone who asked anout my wellbeing.

Thank you so much for being there for me through a very scary time.

People. The finger pointing went even farther than you all think. Emails got sent around naming, not only SDock, and ppu, but others. I got one of the emails fowarded to me saying that you were all involved in some kind of trick or smear campaign because of when you were or weren't on the blog, who you talked to.... the game you were playing. It wasn't a nice email and not everyone believe it.... In fact most didn't. People got accused of being anonymous and of trying to frame others.

I know if I write this under my name it will get out who those emails got sent to and friendships would be destroyed but I feel I must put this here so everybody knows.... You are being judged because of who you talk to and what time you are on, and other things. I think the "watchers" you need to worry about are other 'family' members because they 'watch' you closely to see if you are part of some little 'gang' or something. I just wanted you to know. You know who you are.

I never got this email so I can only presume that I was one of the people talked about.


I cannot do this anymore. Mayos used to be a place where I came to have some fun but now it has descended into name calling and finger pointing.

This place is becoming somewhere that makes me sad now. The whole computer thing, blogs, aim, emails, they all make me feel paranoid. I also end up reading to much into who hangs with who the most. I know that it means nothing mostly but I have mental health issues and feelings of inadequacy. It all stacks up and leaves me feeling like I am not wanted.

I have not only felt left out but have told people I have felt left out. Most of these people have been wonderful and gone out of their way to make me feel included and I thank you with all my heart. But.

Now it seems that the fact that I walk away from mayos when anonslaught starts because I don't want to be a part of the slagging, is being held against me. Sorry, but I do run away from the arguments cos I want nothing to do with them.

It also seems that an innocent game of eye spy which then morphed into hangman makes me guilty of something. I don't get it.

The stress is not worth it anymore.

I will not abandon friends and anyone who wants to email me will get a response. I love you guys, see you round maybe.
